Question

Find the midpoint of R(2,2) and S(-3,6)

Answer 1

Answer:

$M=(-\frac{1}{2},4)$

Step-by-step explanation:

The midpoint formula is given by:

$M=(\frac{x_1+x_2}{2},\frac{y_1+y_2}{2})$

Let (2,2) be x₁ and y₁ and let (-3,6) be x₂ and y₂. Therefore:

$M=(\frac{2+-3}{2},\frac{2+6}{2})$

Simplify:

$M=(-\frac{1}{2},\frac{8}{2})\\M=(-\frac{1}{2},4)$

Answer 2

Answer: (-0.5, 4)

Step-by-step explanation:

Midpoint formula: $(\frac{x1+x2}{2} ,\frac{y1+y2}{2} )$

(x1, x2)=(2, -3)

(y1, y2)=(2, 6)

-----------------------------------------------

 $(\frac{x1+x2}{2} ,\frac{y1+y2}{2} )$

=$(\frac{2-3}{2} ,\frac{2+6}{2} )$

=$(\frac{-1}{2} ,\frac{8}{2} )$

=$(-0.5, 4)$
